Chapter 256
Author: Dreamy Fire
Just then, Yvonne's boss called.

"Miss."

"That woman in the photo you sent yesterday is Sherlyn, Ernest Holt's granddaughter."

What? Ernest Holt? Yvonne was shocked. Having followed her boss for so long, of course she would know such a prominent figure.

"My goodness, miss! How could someone of Sherlyn's status be associated with Felix?"

Surprisingly, she laughed. "Ernest has settled in Avesburgh, right next door to Felix. Given how low-key Ernest is, some interaction as neighbors should be normal. It's probably just surface-level pleasantries, nothing big.

"As for why Sherlyn helped Felix, perhaps Ernest just didn't like how the Phoenix Legion was making such a fuss over an ordinary person, so he sent his granddaughter to smooth things over. No need to read too much into it.

"But if Felix really did earn Ernest's support, he might just have a shot at climbing the social ladder."

The call ended abruptly, leaving Yvonne with a bitter smile. The reason why her boss could be

    "Just give me the account number." Logan smiled. Judging from Felix's attitude, things would be easier to deal with. "Not so fast. After paying, this Harold kid has to be a greeter at the restaurant entrance for a week. He'll have to be on his knees and greet every customer who comes in round the clock." Felix, who was about to open his banking app, frowned at Logan. "Is that really necessary?" Harold cheerfully shrugged. "I don't mind. I trashed their stuff, so of course I should apologize properly." Despite Harold's nice words, he would likely kick up a fuss once the money was transferred. This was clearly meant to humiliate him, so there was no way he would actually kneel there as a greeter. "Who owns this place?" At this point, Felix had to address the root of the problem. Logan looked Felix up and down with a disdainful look. "What? Trying to pull strings? Let me tell you something. The owner of this restaurant is way out of your league. Even Avesburgh's richest couldn

    Good lord! Terrified, Logan swallowed hard. Felix must have had an insanely powerful background if even Zachary had to speak that way to him. "Y-Yes, Mr. Xanthos. I understand." Felix then said to Zachary, "You don't need to see me anymore. Let's end this here." After Felix hung up, Logan broke out in a cold sweat. He fell to his knees. "Mr. Zeller! I'm sorry for being so blind and offending you. Please spare me. I have parents and children to feed, I..." Felix waved him off. "I won't do anything to you. After all, you gave me a chance earlier. I'm taking him with me." As Harold followed Felix out, his face darkened. He could not believe that even the Xanthos family, the second richest family in Avesburgh, could be so afraid of Felix. How was this possible? "Harold, you can keep trying to annoy me like this, but remember this. Once I find your mom, the price you'll pay will only get steeper." After leaving those words behind, Felix set off. Harold punched the wall in fr

    Hearing Vivian say the same thing, Felix thought he must have misheard. After all, Vivian was the deputy chief of the Earthern Hall in Dragon Alliance. How could she not get a ticket to this so-called Golden Prime Auction? "Felix, Golden Prime Auction tickets are never sold. They're distributed based on qualifications, and it's only held once a year. No one who gets a ticket ever resells it. Even among our Dragon Alliance chiefs, only a select few qualify as far as I know." Felix understood now. Though Vivian did not say it outright, it was clear that Kane, who had just become chief of Oasis Clinic, would not make the cut. "I see." On the other end, Vivian felt bad. Felix had only asked for one thing, yet she was powerless to help. The key was that Yale had taken the Dragon Ring now. If not, getting a ticket would have been a breeze. Without the Dragon Ring, only she and Kane would recognize Felix as the Dragon Lord. Others would not see him that way anymore. The Dragon Allia

    Yvonne looked at Felix with a strange expression. "I don't know what you're planning, but people like that block all unknown numbers. It'd be useless even if I gave you his number." Felix had forgotten about that. He hesitated, then said, "Can I use your phone to call him, then?" To his surprise, Yvonne handed over her phone without hesitation. But she warned, "Whatever you're going to say, apologize immediately if he gets angry, and don't say anything else." "I understand." Yvonne was curious about Felix's intentions. It would not matter even if this angered George and he took it out on her. Unlike last time, this was not her personal issue. With Felix involved, her boss would not stay out of it. George would have to behave if she stepped in. Felix went into the guest room on the first floor and dialed George's number using Yvonne's phone. It rang for a long time before someone picked the call up. "Yvonne, make it quick. I'm busy." "George, it's Felix."There was a ru

    Dazed, Yvonne sat on the couch. She could not comprehend this. Last time, George had personally shown up to cause Felix some trouble. When he left in the end, she had assumed Felix was just too unimportant for George to bother with. That was why Felix had been let off the hook, or so she thought. After hearing their conversation over the phone now, she finally understood. She had been puzzled all this while. George was not the type to let things slide. Spoiled as he was, he was not stupid. If he could mess with someone, he would certainly go for the jugular. Yet, Felix had walked away unscathed. "Why on Earth is George so cautious around Felix? And since when does he call anyone 'Mister'?" These questions buzzed around in Yvonne's head, which gave her a migraine. She even wondered if she should be reporting this to her boss. After some contemplation, Yvonne decided to keep it to herself. If she had not slept with Felix, she would have spilled every detail. But now that Geor

    Two days flew by. A plane touched down in Yartford at 10:00 am. Not long after, Felix and Jack hugged at the exit. Jack teased Felix the moment he landed, "Were you worried I've got something going on with Madeline? Coming all the way to Yartford to keep an eye on us, huh?" Felix playfully punched his arm. "Come on. Let's head to the restaurant. Madeline's already waiting for us."The Golden Prime Auction was not until evening, so Felix had time to kill. Plus, he wanted to see how Madeline was adjusting to life in her new city. "Life is interesting sometimes. Maddy's life in Avesburgh was hellish. But ever since she bumped into you, it totally changed for the better after she moved to Yartford." Intrigued, Felix asked while they were in the car, "What do you mean? Are you talking about her career or love life?" Jack flashed a double thumbs-up. "Both." As Jack filled him in, Felix could not help but smile. With the few million dollars he had given her, Madeline had rented a

    Felix was not surprised. Yale was the Dragon Alliance's vice leader and now held the Dragon Ring as the new Dragon Lord. Tracking Felix's movements would not be hard. "What if you're not bored?" Felix asked. Harold chuckled and said, "Simple. I just got to Avesburgh, right? Though everyone's calling me Lord Jamison, the truth is I'm short on cash. My place is pretty crappy. "So, I was wondering if you would lend me your big villa to crash in? And you know I don't like sharing a roof with others. You get it, don't you?" He wanted Felix's house? Felix said, "Fine. I'll give you the passcode. You can move in today and stay as long as you like." Harold laughed. "Thanks! Guess I won't be heading to Yartford, after all." After hanging up, Felix's mood remained unaffected. Harold thought he had all the time in the world to play games, but it was quite the opposite. With Averill's skills, finding Yvette would only take a few days. The Golden Prime Auction was set to start at

    Wendy tucked the ticket away and picked up her coffee with a smile. She said, "What trouble? You're overthinking, Felix. I'll just return the ticket. It's no big deal. "Cheers! Here's hoping you snag that Moon's Tear at the auction!" As Felix took a sip of coffee, he got a call from George. "Mr. Zeller, are you there yet? I'm on my way." "Yeah, I'm at Sunside Café.""Cool! I'll meet you there. It won't be long." Just as he hung up, a middle-aged man appeared at their table. "Ms. Kinsley, you know Mr. Jackman's temper. We've got five minutes left. You'd better come with me now." A flicker of panic crossed Wendy's eyes. She hurriedly stood up while pulling out the ticket again. "Please give this back to Mr. Jackman. My friend already has a ticket. Tell him I'm grateful and that I'll make it up to him however I can." But the man did not take it. Instead, he sneered and said, "Wendy Kinsley, when has Mr. Sean Jackman ever taken back something he's given? Everyone in Yartford

    Felix couldn't kill them? Felix almost thought Xena was joking. He now had almost perfected the Ethereal Constitution. Besides, he had Lumen and the Infinite Shield.He came back to show his skills. Yet now, they were telling him not to kill?"Although Dragonia doesn't have that much soul mastery, there are some for now. Additionally, after three years, several of our martial artists and top experts have the ability to kill the Malevolent Phantoms."At least there wouldn't be a problem dealing with the C-tier and B-tier Malevolent Phantoms. As for Billy, you're familiar with him. He can definitely kill the A-tier Malevolent Phantoms. But again, killing isn't allowed."Felix looked at her seriously. "Then, you'd better convince me."Xena was prepared for this answer. "The order is issued by the headquarters. The Malevolent Phantoms had been sent to gather intelligence. If you kill them—however you kill them—information about their death would be sent somewhere."As for where it'

    Felix was silent after hearing the news. After a long pause, he asked, "Are they dead?"Xena knew that despite seeming calm, Felix was like a ticking time bomb—one that was about to blow."No, no! Not long after you left, they were captured by the Westerio Order."The Westerio Order! Felix clenched his fists. He didn't expect that the loose ends he left behind would hurt Melissa. However, it was too urgent of a mission, and he wasn't strong then. Of course, he didn't want to go after the Westerio Order, but he truly didn't expect they would act upon his absence."I'm sorry," Xena said.Felix waved his hand dismissively. "It has nothing to do with you. Melissa and Ronan must've been traveling around the world at the time. They weren't under your protection then."He thought Ronan was strong enough to deal with sneak attacks. Besides, the Westerio Order wouldn't have sent a particularly strong person for the first time. After the first attack, Melissa and Ronan would've definit

    Felix felt like Cordelia was just going to say more and more outrageous things, so he hurried away. All of a sudden, he noticed Xena in an armored vehicle."Long time no see."Three years felt like it was yesterday. However, the difference was Felix wasn't conflicted anymore. Meanwhile, Xena's eyes were full of complex emotions. "I heard you got married in Martial City." She had seen and heard the news but didn't want to ask. Yet, she still brought it up now."Yes, I'm married now," Felix replied.There was a pause after his reply before she asked again, "Did you get married to complete the mission, or—"Felix didn't avoid her gaze and said seriously, "I really wanted to get married. Nerissa is truly a good woman, and she's worthy of my time."With that answer, Xena turned away, looking around outside before composing herself. As for what she was thinking, even she wasn't clear on what she wanted. "The Malevolent Phantom I met in Martial City… I didn't notice it before. Is

    Xena immediately shook her head. "I dare not say that I know him best, but he is a man who values loyalty and righteousness. If we hide it from him and he finds out through other people, I don't think we can bear the consequences later."A thick silence fell. After a few minutes, Lionel spoke up, "Just… Just do as is. Why don't you tell Felix about those two people?"An hour later, the great mountain in front of them disappeared. Instead, an endless field replaced it. The Warlords were unfazed, but the soldiers from headquarters were stunned.After all, this was like a scene out of a movie. It was incredible. When they got out of their shock, they realized a lot of people stood in the field—so many that they couldn't count.The leader was naturally Felix."Hello, everyone. Long time no see." Felix's face was full of emotion as he saw those familiar faces again. After three years, he had finally come home. No matter how much he felt like he belonged in Martial City, there was n

    Someone asked another question, "Then, may I ask why you can't send people from the capital to Martial City to teach us soul mastery?"This was also a burning question in many of the crowd's minds. Besides, wouldn't it be easier that way?"Because the soul mastery skill you're going to learn has a special trait called resonance. As Dragonians, we can share our soul power and increase the speed of your cultivation. How many people are there in Martial City compared to the capital?"There's more than a billion out there, you know? Of course, you can also practice back here. But by then, the Malevolent Phantoms would've entered Martial City in a matter of minutes! You wouldn't want to endanger your family and friends, right?"After answering a few more questions, the crowd finally agreed with him. "Alright. Now, head back to your family. You have a week to spend with your family and friends before I bring you all to the capital. Everything has been arranged there."You're all also

    The question came from a bald man who was sitting cross-legged on a large rock. He looked as if he didn't take Felix, a Grandmaster, seriously at all. Everyone in the crowd, including Felix, turned to look at him."May I ask why?"The bald man sneered. "What do Malevolent Phantoms in the capital have to do with me?"Felix nodded, showing no anger. "Alright. Then, let me ask you. Is Martial City located in Dragonia?" The bald man, Christian Perez, seemed to know what Felix was about to say. He answered, "Yes.""So, the people in Martial City have Dragonian blood in their veins, right?""That's right."Christian had the unique energy of a Transcendent master. Just from his expression and eyes, it was clear he wasn't someone to be trifled with."If a nuclear bomb fell on Martial City, would you die?"Christian was about to answer but hesitated. "I… It's not likely, but there's a high probability I'll die."Nuclear bombs were terrifying, and Martial City wasn't completely out

    At the foot of Trirock Mountain, a densely packed crowd gathered around. There was double the number of people gathered here compared to when Felix was refining pills during the assessment. Everyone was waiting and talking among themselves. They were all wondering what Felix was going to do. Logically, everyone couldn't be here at the same time. Yet, it happened.After Felix touched the statue, he could control the spell around Martial City. He could also feel the energies of the citizens and where they were. The three elders of the Celestial Hall had been asked to capture the hiding citizens. No one could escape."Being a Grandmaster is truly amazing! I was still caught despite hiding in a well-hidden place.""Ugh, don't even mention it! I buried myself underground, yet they dug me out!"Several martial artists were helpless as they chatted among themselves. They hadn't seen Felix but had already experienced the power of a Grandmaster. All of a sudden, a figure appeared above

    Cordelia took out a small piece of paper from her pocket. A painting revealed itself as she unfolded the paper.The man in the painting was handsome and strong. His eyes, in particular, were authoritative. Even though it was a painting, no one dared to meet his gaze. For some reason, Felix felt like this man seemed familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it. "Is this him?"Cordelia nodded. "Yes, this is a painting the royal family has kept for generations. Whether he has changed or aged at all isn't clear. We call him the Ancient Sage."The Ancient Sage? Felix questioned, "Is he stronger than a Grandmaster?" A mix of emotions flashed in Cordelia's eyes. "Most probably. After Yusri became Grandmaster, he claimed to be the strongest in the world. However, one day, he went to an unknown place for a few days."When he came back, he claimed that he was no longer the strongest in the world. The rest of us had guessed that he met the Ancient Sage."Felix thought about how Corde

    The only people Felix could bow to were Deborah and Cordelia. The two women were sobbing uncontrollably. Deborah truly doted on him, treating him like her own grandson. Meanwhile, Cordelia didn't need any explanation. She had been feeling guilty toward Felix for decades. She had never even dared dream of being forgiven, let alone attending his wedding as his mother. Now that she was, the feeling was indescribable.After curtsying to their parents, the two of them entered the bridal chamber. When Felix lifted Nerissa's veil, he felt amazed despite having seen her many times."You're so beautiful, Nerissa."She was flushed red from shyness. Nerissa had imagined countless times what her fiancé would be like—but she never would've thought that he would be this excellent. Many years ago, Westley had told her that a person who held on to their principles and persistence would eventually be blessed. Just as Felix was about to say something, Nerissa had already pushed him down on the
